"But now tfiat I think of it," she went on tcasingly, "it wouldn't be a bad idea. He has quite a little nest egg in the bank and he never drinks or smokes. And of course I must marry someone." "But not this old suits of armor," Tito pleaded. "He so rusty he clank when he walk. Just to prove what kind of lover lie make, he ask me I should make the proposal of marriage for him to you." "I've never heard you make love, Tito," said the girl demurelj'. "You not know what tliis love is, Norah," Tito replied passionately. "It break the heart one minute and the next it burst with joy. And when that time is come, what all these talks about money and banks? Ah, bambino, not all the banks are worth one first kiss." His hand reached out and caught Norah's little fingers in a grasp that seemed determined never to let her go. She did not withdraw its hold but asked softly, "^re you making love to me for Hodgkins, Tito?" "That bag of bones! I kill him for one look at you," said Tito fiercely. "Ah, Norah, I am so blind. I never know until row it is you, Norah. That big moment — I wait so long for him and now before I know he is here." "But Phyllis," insisted Norah quietly. "That was not the love hurt," he explained. "I never give to Phyllis the kisses, for why I not know. This kiss of love, he wait for you." He gathered her into his arms and their lips met. For »hours they sat there on the chaiselongue together while the rose and mauve and gray of the atelier grew dimmer and then quite dark with the lengthening shadows. It would be unfair to reveal what they talked of or how they crowded into that perfect hour the wasted days of their life together. .\nd, anyway, no one heard them except a smiling wax model in a Lombardi opera gown. Drawing by courtesy Popular Mechanics Magazine Diagram showing how the theater manager can watch his motion picture screen by periscopic apparatus even though he be situated far from the stage. Using the Periscope in the Modern Theater THE periscope is being adapted to peace time and business needs. A progressive motion picture exhibitor has conceived the idea of using the combination of mirrors to view his theatre screen without stirring from his office. He has installed this elongated periscope, which consists of a set of mirrors in a large tube, the one nearest the screen being set on a side wall at the front of the balcony. The reflected images from the theater screen pass from the initial mirror up through the tube to the ceiling of the house and thence through the wall and back down into the manager's office. The tube terminates in the viewing mirror that stands over the manager's desk. The reflection is thrown on plate glass i5<3 feet square. Every adveitiscmcnt in PHOTOPI-AY M.iGAZINE is guaranteed.
